Notes
'Cocorico' rose (Rosa 'Cocorico') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Pink blend blooms open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and into early autumn. Bees visit the flowers, and the glossy, dark green leaves set them off well. Meilland International bred it in 1951.
Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Fountain grass, and Nelly Moser clematis.
